In three days last week Mr.. Mitchell

of peaches FROM his orchard at Edge
mont, this county. Some varieties
brought us high rs 81 per bushel, but
the average price obtained was $3.50.

them. Mr.. Slower has sixty acres OF
peach orchard in bearing condition and
his near neighbor and relative, Mr..
Nicodemus has one hundred acres in
peaches. Mr.. Slower until a few days

several thousand young trees for which
he had no sale he planted them on a

to complicate Senatorial legislation and

disposed-the Virginia. Senitor holding

parlng the returns Of the past fiscal

shows an increase of 50, 2l5 ,45G in beer

The New Party.

The men who recent y met IN Phil
adelphia and promulgated the doctrines
of new party in this country may at
present be looked upon as ''cranks' and
fanatics, but there can be no doubt
with us, that in many essential things
they advocate the truth.
Unfortunately for the success of such
political teaching, the politicians, mark
the word, the politians, not the states.
men, of this country are first as rule,
too shallow to flthom the possibilities
of the unrestrained influx OF all classes
and conditions. (save the poorest and
really ex.jail classcs) of foreigners, as
they come to exert an influence upon
our moral, social, political and CONNER
cial institutions; or secondly, they are
unable to discriminate between the hon
est foreign born citizen that has been
and will continue to be an honor and
source of strength to us, and the villain
Gus crew Of ignorant, or violently EN-
uttered men who flock to our Shores to
escape the rigor of less lenent govern
ments, but who, upon their arrival here
turn liberty into license and would re-
arrange our government into a reign
of no Law.
Unfortunately, We say, for the new
party the politicians are unable to dis
crmlnate safe y and are vet too willing
to pander to the vote of foreign born
citizens to risk advocacy Of the princi-
pies of the new party.
This is the Gland of the free and
home of the brave" but such men as
we most frequently find addressing an
archist and socialist meetings, are nei-
ther free nor brave they are the vilcst
slaves to their passions and are too cow
ardly to take even chances with the ma
tive American in the contest for liv.
ing in this broad rich land and it is a
notorious fact, that few native born
Americans are to be found among the

it may receive but passing attention
from some and from others, a sheer, We

Wheat Growing on The Same Field.

John j. Willis. Superintendent of
Lawes and Gilbert's famous Expert
mental Farm at Rothamsted, Eng
land, writes to the american AgricuE-
turiSE:
Among the many invaluable expert
ments here, there are none more in
teresting. and certainly none more inn
portant to the people of the world at
large, than those on the continuous
growth of wheat for nearly half a en-
fury on the same land, commencing
1874, and continuing up to the present
time, together with the Investigations
of the chemical components of wheat
products in the mill, according to the
conditions of growth, or the circum-
stances of their preparation.
The records. then, of n field of four
teen acres, on which wheat has been
grown without manure, and by differ
ent kinds of manur year after year
for Al successive seasons, without
either bare-fallow, or a fallow-crop,
and in which the lowest production
per acre in the first year on any plot
was Is bushels of dressed grain, and
in 1856, the last year, 9 bushels, and
the highest in the first year 24f BUSH
els, and the last year ASH bushels;
with an extreme range of from 5 to Sc
bushels of wheat per acre, cannot fail
to be of much interest at once to the
practical farmer, the miller, and econ
omist. 1t has been demonstrated by
numerous experiments, both in the old
world and the new, that not only may
the relative proportions of the differ
ent parts of the wheat plant vary con
siderably in different specimens, but
also that the composition of the berry
itself is liable TO great changes. ae-
cording to the variety employed, the
mode of culture, the season, the ma
ture of the soil, and the manurial in
gradients used. In fact, the more
wheat. which is enthusiastically a
starchy product, is perfectly matured,
whether through the influence of
variety, soil, season, or manure, the
higher will be the proportion of flour
obtained by milling, and as a rule the
lower will be the proportion of nitro
genous substances, the lower that OF
bran, and the higher that Of the
sfarchy compounds.

Frauds In Rubber Shoes.

Rubbers supply a favorite field for
fraudulent propensities. Consumers
know little or nothing of quality from
appearance. The cheapest goods
made, if highly finished, may be readily
sold for the best. The best boot is
known as pure gum. Ranking next to
this, but still graded as first quality is
the dull finish. But of the dull boot
there are, of course, as many grades
and qualities as there are companies
making them. When wearers come
to buy them it is surprising how many
pure gum shoes some dealers have, and
how cheapiy they sell them. A few
years agoya manufacturer. remarking
upon this rather curious feature of the
business, undertook to remedy the evil.
He ordered the "dull finish" boots
stamped .'not pure gum" The auda-
cious dealers erased the first Of these
words, and the remaining two aided
sales materially. Certain label manu-
factufers have done considerable bust
printing and preparing paper
labels stamped 1prre gum for the
use of retail shoe dealers, to be pasted
on their boots. We have heard that
the trick of substitution is practiced by
some dealers. The shoes are selected,
fitted, paid for, il may be, and left to
be delivered at the home of the buyer.

of this bold nature was very rare
